OpenAI has revealed a restructuring plan aimed at changing its corporate structure as it transitions to a for-profit model in 2025.

The company, which began as a non-profit in 2015, is transitioning to a public benefit corporation (PBC), aligning with its strategy to attract the capital needed for its pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Under the new structure, OpenAI’s existing for-profit arm will evolve into the PBC, which will oversee all business operations. 

Meanwhile, the non-profit arm will continue to exist but will focus on charitable initiatives in sectors like healthcare, education, and science, no longer holding direct control over OpenAI’s commercial activities.

This restructuring is driven by the need to raise funding to support the development of AGI, a goal that requires financial backing on a scale far beyond what the current non-profit framework allows. 

OpenAI, valued at $157 billion following its latest $6.6 billion funding round, acknowledged the necessity of adopting more conventional business structures to meet investor expectations.

The move to a PBC aligns OpenAI with other technology companies in the AI sector, such as Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI, which operate under similar frameworks. 

This structure allows the company to balance the interests of shareholders, stakeholders, and the public benefit, a key factor in securing the necessary capital to continue its work in AGI development.

While the non-profit arm will retain a stake in the new PBC, the governance of OpenAI will be completely changed, with control handed over to the for-profit entity. 

This change is part of OpenAI’s long-term strategy to build a sustainable organisation capable of supporting AGI research while still pursuing social good.

The decision to restructure has been in the works for several months, with discussions escalating after a period of internal turmoil, including the brief removal and reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman. 

With backing from investors like Microsoft, which has been closely tied to OpenAI’s development, the company is now focused on scaling up its operations to compete in the AI space.

OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model through the public benefit corporation (PBC) will enable the company to raise the capital needed for its AGI development. 

While the non-profit arm will retain a stake in the PBC, its role will focus on supporting charitable initiatives, rather than driving the for-profit transition.
